After an inspiring story of Nick Lane's career path, this wide-ranging conversation covers his bioenergetic view of early, evolutionary history, the origin of life and how all complex life is composed of a very particular cell type that we all share, and more. This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, The Big Picture, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter: I. A Long and Winding Road- Nick goes round the houses. II. Structuring Energy- Cells, membranes and a counterintuitive mechanism. III. Hydrothermal Vents- More than just chemistry. IV. Simulational Challenges- Making your own hydrothermal vent. V. Synoptic Justifications- Philosophers wanted. VI. Becoming Complex- From prokaryotes to eukaryotes. VII. Marvellous Mitochondria- Insights from a metabolic worldview. VIII. Open Questions- From the origin of life to consciousness.
